ABSTRACT
The efficacy of Commiphora molmol or myrrh [mirazid] was evaluated in treating sheep naturally infected with Moniezia expansa. Total doses of 1, 2 or 3 capsules [300 mg each] were given for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 successive days on an empty stomach an hour before offering their breakfast. The stools of the three groups were examined microscopically and macroscopically for eggs and/or gravid segments, every day. When the stool was negative, the treatment was stopped. Sheep group was examined macroscopically after being slaughtered for adult worms in intestine. A total dose of 3600 mg given as 3 capsules for 4 days gave a cure rate of 100% with no clinical side effects. A dose of 4800 mg given as 2 capsules per day for 8 days gave a cure rate of 100% with no clinical side effects. On the other hand, a total dose of 2400 given as 1 capsule per day for eight days gave a cure rate 40%. Consequently, myrrh extract of the medicinal plant, Commiphora molmol [mirazid], proved to be safe and very effective in sheep, Monieziasis expansa
